Cool article! They sound busy! How are you handling the shrinkage factor? -
I would set lash based on the FSM for the 87 300zx turbo LSD. Yes, I suspect the CLSDs and VLSDs both create more heat. Clutch slippage is always going to increase heat. I can measure the factory LSD fins if you want some dimensions

6' doesn't sound like much but in 18' it's 30% and in a space that tight inches matter. I love the feel of an organized shop! One day I might have one but I will probably have to be closer to retirement too.

I don't know. I'm not that familiar with the rules in various racing classes. Just seems like a tremendous investment for a one off that has no return at all on the investment. Especially considering the OS Giken already exists.
-
You got a lot in that space! Considering it's not very large
-
I agree, more fins. If you look at the factory R200 diff cover it has a number of thin fins
-
That seems illogical to me. I suspect there are some thoughts towards vintage racing or something along those lines. Maybe they found insufficient market for it part way through the process and finished anyway. Most businesses don't spend money on projects like this for no reason. There really isn't even much advertising value as it's an untested engine stand ornament. Wouldn't surprise me if it became available to racers who have a good relationship with supporting Nissan.

Looking for a dash JDM car parts is out of stock Datsun Garage shows they have them but I haven't dealt with them Vintage dashes has them but they are $400 more!
-
I will have to check
-
I put mine in a pickel bath when I plate but not for very long and it's not heated. I haven't had any issues. But acids vary and his Ph might be really low.
-
Did you have pieces plated that had plastic damage?
-
I don't know, I didn't want to stand over them but they weren't in the shop long. I suspect a new piece of glass is a little more forgiving too. I have the original axles from the donor car. What is the best way to check for binding?

I had a new windshield put in my truck today. While they were here I had them put a new windshield in Lily. It took them maybe 20 minutes. About $300 and they'll warranty it I also received these from DriftHQ the other day. These adapt the factory hub spindle to to the 300ZX turbo CV axles

This discussion might fit better in a different thread. Not the BAT one..

Provided the speedo cable is properly indexed into the transmission, it should turn when the car is moving. You shouldn't be able to rotate the speedo end of the cable when its installed in the tranny barring the shafts flexibility. The drive for the speedo is a stand alone gear near the end of the output shaft. It could have a problem and the rest of the tranny would care less. Edit: As I recall the drive gear for the pinion is metal, maybe brass. The pinion is plastic. I would think the pinion would disintegrate before the drive gear. I believe the drive gear has a ball bearing under it as a keyway and snap rings on either side. Maybe the gear has move somehow to where they don't mesh? Does your speedo cable have the keys on it?

Those look really good!

I dont know of a way to do it on Install without making a mess. Everybody I've seen do it, have put it under the flap after Install.
-
That was a very productive day!
-
Link to fuse box source?
-
The man is flying! I'm so envious of the pace
-
It could be the switch or the motor
-
Probably not a luck thing. I don't live in an area that really ever sees road salt and Lily is from Arizona and probably had very little wear on the wipers. My third wiper transmission had a good bit of corrosion but it was from North Carolina or Virginia which are road salt states.
-
I believe that little spring is supposed to index in the slot at the end of the wiper motor arm and the millennium falcon. That is the it was on my better transmission
